Not Putting It in
It is unfortunate that waiters and waitresses do not make a lot of money, particularly in the United States, where they must rely on tips to augment their income because their salaries are so low. According to one former worker at Hooters, the hourly compensation for Hooters females was a pittance of $2.
There is no way that amount of money could cover the cost of a bus trip to get to work. However, this former worker brings up an important issue, which is that workers receive a higher wage for the promotional job they perform for a company or a product. Examples of this include riding on a golf cart or posing for pictures alongside members of the general public.
